Mr. and Mra Morton Mitchell entertained a large company yesterday afternvon at a musi- cale at 5 o'clock. ‘The leap-year ball at Masonic Temple was a great success and could not help being so,since the most skillful ball givers in society had a hand in all its details.

Raum Questioned Further in Kegard to Certain Discharged Clerks. ‘The special pension investigating committee of the House continued its examination of Commissioner Raum yesterday afternoon. Gen. Raum said he thought his son had not received fair play atthe hands of Secretary Noble in being dismissed without a hearing. Mr. Enloe asked the commissioner if he him- self had given fair play to seven special ex- aminers whom he had dismissed without a hearing. Gen. Raum replied that these men were circulating injurious reports about him in the newspapers and wero associating with a man who was writing them. Mr. Enloe repeated the question of last Wednesday, which had caused friction, as to the present whereabouts of Employe Line- weaver. Gen. Raum again refused to answer, but said: “Mr. Lineweaver isengaged on proper official business.” In regard to the dismissal of Ivan Summerlin from the bureau Gen. Raum said it was made because Summerlin was a strong partisan, ‘The committee next brought up the case of Gen. James Dugan, who was dismissed by Com- missioner Raum because a chief of division re- ported that Gen. Dugan bad said ‘Lemon the commissioner and Raum ix his deputy. When the attention of Gen. Dugan was called to this remark he had replied that he had noth- ing to retract. Afterward when Gen. Palmer of Illinois came to the commissioner and inter- ceded for Dugan's reappointment Gen. Raum, in order to show that he had no. personal feel- ing in the matter, went to the Secretary in Du- gan’ behalf, but Ansistant Sectotary Bussey re- fused to reappoint Dugan because he had writ- ten a letter about Secretary Bussey in the National View, criticising the latter's official ladies provided every facility tor rapid wooing in the noveity they originated in the mail-bug figure.

Mr. W. H. Slack and Mr. Clifford Richardson were asked to the first councils. The indies trusted everything | to their experienced guidance, though neither of them would take a leaf trom the laurels they think the ladies fairly won, but this ball, like the dozens of others these gentlemen have so well maneuvered, was a sucecss. The guests began to arrive shortly before 10, fresh, gay and eager for the pleasure of theevening. ‘Mrs. J. Lee Carrull was the hostess. Her ball gown. was in harmony with the large bouquet of Baroness roses she carried—the gift of the com- mittee. ‘The chaperones on the list were Mrs. Morton, Lady Pauncefote, Mrs. Nelson Brown, Mrs. h, Mrs. WR.

THE CRITICAL MOMENT. “We crossed the street,” said the it, “and almost immediately saw Amie and Jennie and some gentleman I didn’t recognize coming A tremendous throng ‘was jn attendance when the proceedingt in the trial of Howard J. Schneider for the killing of his wife were begun this morning, and the ladies formed at least four-fifths of those present. To accom- modate the ¢rowd an extra row of chairs were placed just back of the counsel and defendant. Dut even these extra accommodations did not begin to meet the requirements, and many of those present, ladies included, were compelled to stand. On the opening of the court the district attorney stated that, although he had objected to the admiséi#n of the ments of Mrs. Amie Schneider made shortly after the shooting because he had thought that she was not in a proper condition to rationally make a state- ment, he would tow withdraw his objection. Judge Wilson stated that this action of the government greatly embarrassed the defense in their conduct, and that tho defense would take time to consider just what course ther would now pursue. And if they found it nec- A MEMBER OF THE Bi from 18th on the north side of Q street.

The witnesses for the defense were very late in putting in an appeatance, and a long and tedious wait ensued, during which a very earnest consultation was held between the RELATIVE POSITIONS AT THE SHOOTING. At the request of Judge Wilson the witness pointed out the relative positions on the chart, stating that his wife was nearest the curbstone, Jennie Hamlink next and Frank Hamlink on defendant and his counsel.

The first shot, witness said, in front of his wife and through the breast of his coat. After the shooting commenced their positions changed, his wife facing her brother and imploring him not to shoot, and witness shifting round so that he was in much thesame position as Frank Hamlink was in the first place. At the request of Judge Wilson, Bailiff Spring- man and “Mr. Hochling placed’ themscives with Judge Wilson in position before the jury and the defendant then illustrated the position of Frank Hamlink, Mr. Schneider and himeelf. The defendant then stepped outside the court room for a momentand put on the coat, vestand overcoat worn by him at the time of the shoot- ing. Returning, he pulled up his overcoat collar, buttoned ‘the overcoat and explained. to the jury how the ball from Hamlink’s pistol through the two coats and vest. Juror Spies here requested the defendant to explain more definitely the position in which Frank Hamlink when the defendant stated he stood facing the southwest. The de- fendant then stated hneider, was placed upon the witness stand. THE PRISONER IN HIS OWN BEHALF. The prisoner was examined by Judge Wilson and gave bis testimony in @ clear voice. He stated that he first became acquainted with his wife the last of April or the Ist of May, 1891. ‘They were married at Hyattsville the 2d of June following by the Rey. John Anderson, the license having been obtained in Baltimore. Jennie Hamlink first learned of their marriage the ist of August. The defendant then stated that on the 24th of Ootober, on returning from the theater with his \wife, her father met them at the door. Witness bid his wife good- nd was about to leave the door, when wife called him back and said that her father wished to speak to him. He went in, found Col. Hamlink and Frank Hamluk in the parlor, when Col. Hamlink asked him what he meant by marrying Amié. Witness replied that he meant nothing wrong and Col. Ham- link called bim @ scoundrel and said that he didn't believe that they were married, and de- manded proof of it. Col. Hamiink asked wit- nets why he married Amie and said that it was to accompany him to the K street station. On the way down the alley he threw his pistol ‘behind the telegraph He went to the station and told them he sbota man in self-defense. He was searched and then locked up. Later, when bis brother Frank called, be whispered where to find the pistol he had thrown in the alley. [Pistol produced and identified.] Defendant then stated that he had seen Frank Hamlink bave « pistol in his room about two or three weeks before the shooting. Judge Wilson, producing the Merwin & Hul- bert pistol found near Frank Hamlink's body— Is this the pistol? Defendant, after examining it—““Yes, sir. That is, it is the same kind.” ‘THE QUESTION OF THREATS. Judge Wilson then endeavored to ask the defendant to state what threats he had learned Frank Hamlink had made against his (defend- ant’s) life, but the government objected on the ground that the defendant was not on_ trial for 7.

Hamlink ‘then said to his son that he (Frank) ought to, shoot him. Witness then told them that Amie bad torn up a certifi- cate given them by the minister because it was cheap and dirty one. He then said to Col. Hamlink that h® would get another certificate as soon as he eould and left the house. Frank Hamlink followed the defendant out and grabbed hold of him. They ran down the Steps and started off toward defendant's home. As they got, near his home he shook Frank Hamlin and ran into his house.

There are charges of fravd and arbitrary rulings, and arrangements are being mace to contest the right of the del- egates dec ared to be the choice of the conven- tion to sents in the national conclave at Chi- cago. Mr. William Dickson, the leading can- didate on the side that was declared defeated, in conversation with a Stan roporter thismorn- ing gave the following statement of the grounds upon which he proposes to make @ contest be- fore the national convention.

To the amazement of all a majority of this committee, without precedent or euthority, arrogated to themesives @ right to open credentials of and prepare a list of those who in their judg- ment should be the delegates who would ‘com- pore the convention. On thet roll were placed the names of Norris men from two districts who did not hold the regularly authorized certificates, signed by the officers of the meet- ings held in the tenth and nineteenth districts. “Notwithstanding earnest and vigorous test on ‘the part of Chairma:: Boyle ‘and others this roll was called and the illegal representa- tives were allowed to vote in organizing the body. and were actually appointed upon the Commitice ou credentials to sit tn jedgment own cases, and to the adoption of that eos- report.

JOHN DOYLE'S Views. Mr. John Boyle, the chairman of the old Dis- trict committee, characterizes as unwarranted and unprecedented the action of the commit- tee on arrangements of the central committee in placing on the roils the names of from contested districts. Mr. Boyle said that it bad always been the custom with the central committee not to place on the preliminary roll the names of contesting delegations. He never knew this to be done in any political convention. Mn Boyle also characterizes the rulings of the chairman of the convention as arbitrary and tp direct conflict with the Jefferson manual, by which the convention was governed. In his opinion the whole proceedings were in @ parlia- (WHAT 18 SAID ON THE OTHER eIDE.

Instead of every particular fair. finding fault with Mr. Suillington Mr. and his friends ought to unive in for his intelligent and firm discharge of his duties, which alone saved the convention from becoming in point of disorder and indecency rival of the republican couventions here. The best evidence of Mr. Shillington’s fairness and justice is the striking fuct that throughout the convention not one of his rulings was appealed from. If the gentlemen whoarenow crying over their defeat had had uny fauit to find with the chairman why didn’t they tind out that fact before their defeat?
